Former Saints running back Darren Sproles has said that he didn’t want to be traded, but rather released from the team before it was announced he was in fact traded to the Eagles. However, his wife has stronger words.

In a post on Instagram, she blasted the team and voiced her disappointment. The post was deleted but not before it was captured and spread out on social media.

“I am so disappointed in the Saints organization & the way they are treating my husband,” she wrote. “I understand this is a brutal business but when u [sic] have a good guy who works hard & does a lot for the community u [sic] would think they would show a little more respect. To verbalize to him that they will release him so at least he can choose the team he wants to spend his last few years in the NFL on & then take it back without a word & try to trade him is (expletive) up… I no [sic] I have no control over this & God is gonna work it out but in the mean time I’m gon [sic] vent & talk (expletive). Lol! WhoDat Nation get ready for a ride because the seeds yall [sic] front office is planting its [sic] not gon [sic] be a good look for yall… See the way my God is set up he gets the last say & can get u back better than the Compton Curse out I wanna give these (expletive)!”

The post was followed by several social media hashtags “#YesICurseAndPraiseGod” “#OnlyGodCanJudgeMe” “#IputHisChargerPicsUpBecauseTheSaintsAint(Expletive)ForWhatTheyDoin

In a separate post on Instagram, she posted, "I want to send a special thank you to the WhoDat Nation & Everyone that supported my husband through his journey as a Saint. We will miss the love in New Orleans & our New Orleans Fam!"

The Saints traded Sproles to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a draft pick, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.

Sproles isn’t the only Saint to join the Eagles. Malcolm Jenkins inked a 3-year, $16.2 million deal with the team.

Sproles has been one of the team’s most productive players since joining as a free agent in 2010. He was set to make $3.5 million in 2014.
